Dutchman Building "Noah's Ark"! |
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4853890.stm
But it's a fifth the size of the fictional original, it will only carry
a few farmyard animals and it won't dare venture on the open seas.

Um, so what's the point?
$1.2m !
What would Jesus have done with that $1.2m? Nothing, cos there was no
Jesus, but the myth suggests he would have spent it on himself rather
than on the poor, which is precisely what Johan Huibers is doing! In
short, he's doing a very Christian thing! Why help the poor and sick
when you can squander literally thousands on yourself?
If the fundies really wanted to do some science, they would fund a full
size ark and populate it with a reasable representation of life's
diversity (as much as they could fit, that is) and set themselves
afloat with no navigation or motive power for the best part of a year,
and see how they fared using only their own resources.
The reason that they don't do this is that they *know* the global flood
story in Genesis is an exaggeration based on some local flood tale.

Much as I love you this proves that what your treacher ( is a treacher a
treacherous teacher or did I type it wrong again?) told you was wrong.
There are dumb questions.
These are the same people who use a piece of 2 x 4 to prove that the ark was
a stable craft.

No they meant *stable* craft - a craft that could be used as a stable
when they found it wouldn't float worth a damn....

I guess the point is that if a ship one-fifth the size of the ark will
only carry a handful of barnyard animals, then the "real" one would
only carry five handfuls of barnyard animals, which is hardly enough to
explain the diversity of life on this planet.

Well, either that or it's a lot easier to get bunnies and chicks than
it is to find stegosauri and mastadons and chimera and gryphons.

Did Noah really build an ark?
By Jeremy Bowen
Presenter, Noah's Ark
In the Bible, God tells Noah he has to build an ark and load a pair of
every kind of animal before a great flood engulfs the world. It is
widely regarded as a myth, but could it actually be true?
The story of Noah and his ark is one which sticks in the minds of
children and never gets forgotten.
God warned Noah - the only good man left in a world full of corruption
and violence - to prepare for a great flood. With his sons he built a
great ark and the animals marched in two by two. By the time the rain
started to fall, Noah was ready. The ark was a refuge until the waters
went down, leaving Noah and his menagerie high and dry on Mount Ararat.
There are many problems with the story. If the story is taken literally,
it would have taken 35 years for Noah and his family to load two of
every animal on earth. And a flood that engulfed the Earth would have
left a signature for geologists - yet none has been found.
But it is possible to build a much more credible version of the story
based on a different reading of the Bible, on ancient Babylonian sources
that predate the Book of Genesis, and on archaeology and science.
Broken apart
The traditional shape of Noah's Ark comes from the imaginations of 19th
Century artists. It would have been about 450ft long, and experts say it
would have broken apart.
Even if such a feat of marine engineering had been possible, there are
about 30 million species of animals in the world. For so many creatures,
a fleet of enormous arks would have been needed.
Geologists have also proved that there is not enough water in the world
to cover all the continents, then or now.
But just because the details of this familiar story do not add up,
should we turn our backs on Noah and the ark?
We have to forget the idea that such a huge boat carrying all known
animals existed, that it came to rest on Mount Ararat in modern-day
Turkey, and that a flood covered the entire Earth.
In 1851, British archaeologists discovered hundreds of clay tablets
while digging in ancient Babylon.
It was 20 years later that British Museum assistant George Smith became
the first person to read them. He found the story of Gilgamesh, which
bore strong similarities to that of Noah. He was visited by the great
gods, who decided there would be a great deluge, told him to make a boat
and carry in it the seed of all living things.
Further Iraqi texts were discovered, showing the story emerged in
Mesopotamia. And in the 1930s conclusive evidence of a huge flood in the
area about 5,000 years ago - the time of the story of Noah - was found.
Trading centres
What we know of the culture of what is now Iraq gives the first glimpse
of the real-life historical figure behind the myth.
Noah might have been king of a city called Shuruppak. He would have had
a kilt, a shaven head and eye make-up, like the figures portrayed in
artworks created in what was then known as Sumeria.
The epic of Gilgamesh says Noah had silver and gold, then the currency
of wealthy merchants, suggesting he was a businessman.
Could this story have provided the inspiration for the Book of
Genesis 2,000 years later?
Instead of building an ark to survive a great flood, he is more likely
to have built boats to trade goods like beer, grain and animals.
All the big trading centres of the era were on the River Euphrates and
it was cheaper to move goods by water than land. Sumerians were able to
build barges about 20ft in length, and marine archaeologists have not
found remains or inscriptions of larger vessels.
But they believe they would have had the technology to have built a
series of barges and used them like pontoons on which a much larger
boat, or ark, could have been constructed.
Tropical storm
Parts of the Euphrates were only navigable at certain times of the year,
when the waters were deep enough for large boats.
Noah was likely to have waited for the melt waters to arrive in June and
July and, if these had combined with a tropical storm, the river could
have flooded the Mesopotamian plain.
The currents in the area would not have taken him towards Mount Ararat,
but out into the Persian Gulf. Life would have been difficult, but they
could have survived on the animals and beer on board.
One Babylonian text suggests the ark came to rest on what is now the
island of Bahrain, providing a very different yet plausible end to the
adventure.
Could this story have provided the inspiration for the holy men who
wrote the Book of Genesis 2,000 years later? When they first heard the
story, how could they fail to recognise its moral power, that if
humankind falls short of God's laws, there's a dreadful price to pay.
Behind that moral message lies one of the world's greatest stories.
And behind that story we can just glimpse a real man, a real boat and a
real adventure.
Noah's Ark will be broadcast in the UK on BBC One on Sunday 21 March at
1900 GMT.
